Hostess Gift Guide

The gift ideas below will work as host or hostess gifts for all those parties on your social calendar OR for the person on your gift lift that loves to entertain! We all know those friends. They can throw together a dinner party at the last minute that looks flawless and not a hair is out of place. For your friend that loves to entertain but makes it look like the apocalypse hit her house (like someone typing this list), hire her a maid.

1. RTIC Tumbler— These are the COOLEST cups. Made with a double-wall vacuum insulation (similar to Yeti but WAY cheaper), these keeps drink cold OR hot for hours and insulate hands from either temp. Ice doesn’t melt and coffee stays super hot. Comes in several different colors (pink!) and styles (low ball, can cooler) but the original tumbler is less than $15! Throw in a mini bottle of their fave liquor and a mixer and you’ve got such a fun gift.

2. Kitchen Accessories — You can never go wrong with a cute oven mitt or potholder set or a set of adorable tea towels. Wrap these up with a kitchen soap and you have the perfect gift.

3. NEST Candles— We know these are spendy, but oh have mercy on your soul, they are AMAZING. The scents are glorious and they are loved by everyone. If you just can’t stomach the price, any beautiful candle is always appreciated as a gift! Most everyone can always use tealight candles as well. Buy a huge bag and split them up for gifts!

4. Cocktail Napkins— This is something most of us rarely buy for ourselves, but is such a fun thing to have on hand!

6. Wine Stopper— Obviously for your wine drinker, but there are TONS of fun designs and most are priced very inexpensively. You can also find very highly-rated and inexpensive champagne stoppers for your bubbly loving host.

7. Coasters— These can range anywhere from beautiful to practical to functional to raunchy. Something for everyone in your life!

12. Fred & Friends ‘Go Big’ Serving Plate— This is such a hilarious tongue in cheek gift idea. Designed out of high-impact plastic, but designed to look like an old-school paper plate with ridges. Perfect for serving!

13. Tea Sampler or Coffee — Pair their favorite tea or coffee with a beautiful new mug and some biscotti and you have the perfect gift! Grab a tea sampler in a pretty box or their favorite brand if you know it.

14. Cocktail Cookbook— So much fun for your host that is into mixology or loves having a spirits bar. There are TONS of highly-rated books out there to provide all kinds of cocktail inspiration.

15. Cocktail Drinking Straw Spoons— It’s a straw! It’s a spoon! These are fabulous. Stir it up and then drink it up. Such a fun gift that people may not think to buy themselves.

16. Fun Holiday Ornament — You can get just about anything these days, so a perfect customizable gift idea. Cupcakes, donuts, sushi, condiments, coffee mugs, anything. This Hot Sauce Ornament is perfection.

17. The Pineapple Tumbler— These are all over the place right now and such a fun gift idea. They come in either copper or gold and will hold a 12-ounce beverage. So cute!

18. Stemless Wine Glasses — Wine glasses are not just plain glass anymore, friends. So many fun designs and stemless makes them much harder to spill. These American Atelier Confetti Glasses are beautiful and come in a set of four.

Star Wars Gift Guide

With the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, we have a brand new generation of Star Wars fans coming out of the woodwork. There is a certain 6-year old in this house that lives, breathes and thinks he lives in the world of Star Wars.

So these gift recommendations come from hours and hours of Mama listening to all the details and all the stories and basically all the Star Wars things.

8. Star Wars Character Encyclopedia— This has also been tried and tested by a sweet 6-year old and it is THE ONLY STAR WARS BOOK YOU’LL EVER NEED. Seriously, every character, from the well-known to the totally obscure and in alphabetical order for easy searching.

12. Star Wars Bladebuilders Jedi Master Lightsaber— Build, customize and change up your own lightsaber creations. Gets almost exclusively fantastic reviews! More expensive than the lightsaber shown above, but this can be customized over and over again and has lights and sounds.

12. LEGO Star Wars Sets— SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM. Filter by age and price to find what suits you. These are classics for your LEGO fan.

14. Perplexus Star Wars Death Star— Perplexus mazes are quite possibly the coolest toys ever made. They are 3D puzzles where you navigate a small ball or object through a maze inside a big plastic ball. Hours and hours of entertainment, perfect for car rides. This Death Star has lights and sounds and you navigate an X-Wing Starfighter through the maze.

These are just some of my favorite gift ideas. Nordstrom makes it SO easy to shop for gifts. Click on the Holiday Gifts tab and they have categories sorted by price, personality type, hobby, most anything you want.

If you aren’t quite sure what to give, you can always go with a super simple Nordstrom gift card. Either print and give in a card, email to your recipient or order an actual gift card to be sent in the mail. Easy!

Please share with us if you find any additional gift ideas or fun and unique items. Nordstrom is such a fun place to shop!

Playmobil Christmas Angel Ornament Set— $4.37! The angels in the ornaments are regular Playmobil figures that can be played with. This is an Add-on Item, which means you’ll need to include it in an order of $25 or more, even if you have Amazon Prime.

Shipping is FREE with Amazon Prime (start your FREE 30-day trial HERE) or a qualifying order of $49 on eligible items. Prices are subject to change at any time and without notice.

Ten for Teens Giving Project Update

Here’s the most recent gift card count update and a bit from some local caseworkers!

What is Ten for Teens?

One thing that caseworkers consistently report is that teens are the most neglected groups when it comes to community holiday giving. Ten for Teens is a project that aims to give every teen in foster care in the Portland Metro area a $10 gift card this Christmas season.

There are approximately 868 teens in the Portland Metro foster care system. Our desire is to make sure every single teen receives not only a gift, but a message of hope and love.

In order to meet this goal, we need your help. We have currently received 58 gift cards, which means we still need 810. All it takes to help meet this goal is $10, a notecard or greeting card, and a stamp.

(BTW — I’m not worried with these numbers. You all always pull through in the last two weeks!)

Here’s a comment from Megan, a local caseworker:

I am a teen worker in Multnomah and it was so amazing to be able to give my kiddos a little something extra last year. They so appreciate the ability to have some money in their pocket to buy something. It really warmed my heart last year that a few of my teens even used their gift cards to buy gifts for their siblings or family members. So sweet.

And more from Jamie, a teen worker in SE Portland:

In the past the gift cards have been priceless for the teens on my caseload. It is very hard to shop for teens and so gift cards tend to be the perfect gift! Often times, my teens have elected to use the money on basic needs such as clothing and food. I remember specially a youth named Kevin and his sincere gratitude to Child Welfare for helping him during the holiday season. Another youth on my caseload, Maria, specifically uses the gift card to buy Christmas presents for her younger siblings each year.

On behalf of all of the youth I have served and the youth that will be served in the future, thank you so very much for you the kind and generous donations to improve the holiday experience for these youth and their families!

It would be fantastic if you’d get your gift card(s) in the mail by Monday, December 12. This will give us enough time to organize and distribute the cards to the Portland Metro area DHS offices and then for caseworkers to personally hand them out to the teens on their caseload.

Ready to give? Here’s what to do:

Purchase one or more $10 gift cards. Here are some suggested establishments:

McDonald’s

Subway

Starbucks

Dutch Bros.

Fred Meyer

Target

Walmart

Amazon

iTunes

Old Navy

Burgerville

Regal Cinemas

Century Theaters

Game Stop

Coldstone Creamery

Or anywhere else you think a teen might enjoy. The gift cards will be hand-picked for individuals by their case workers, so your choice doesn’t have to be entirely generic. You are welcome to get creative.

You are welcome to have the gift cards mailed directly to Frugal Living NW if you are purchasing them online to save time and postage. I will assume that any gift cards that come to my business’s mailbox are for this project and not an anonymous gift to me :). Please make sure you are sending an actual plastic gift card and not an emailed printable form with a barcode. A piece of paper is lame. Plastic is cool. Note some online retailers won’t send cards to PO Boxes (Target is one).

Write a personal message (optional).

The purpose of this message is to let your teen know that there is a real person or family behind the gift card. Let your teen know he is loved and special. Let her know your family is thinking of her this Christmas. It’s probably best to do this in a note or greeting card (a Christmas card would be perfect). Feel free to have your kids or grandkids draw a picture to go along with your card. No religious messages, such as “God loves you” or “God has a plan for your life,” or “We’re praying for you,” etc. please. It’s fine to use greetings that include “Christmas.”

Stick the gift card inside the greeting card/note and put it in an unsealed, unmarked envelope. If you seal it, we will have to open it and make your envelope look all trashy, so just don’t seal it.

This step is optional. You are welcome to send gift cards without messages.

Mail your gift card(s) and message(s) by December 12, 2016.

Now put your envelope in a larger one and mail it off! We (Frugal Living NW) will collect the gift cards and deliver them to the folks at Embrace Oregon, who will then distribute them to the case workers in the Portland Metro area. You do not have to put it in a padded envelope. The ones in the regular envelopes are just fine. Please mail your gifts to:

Frugal Living NWPO Box 431
Troutdale, OR 97060

If you a purchasing a large number of gift cards (preferably more than 10) and would like a receipt for tax purposes, please include a self-addressed, stamp envelope in your package and we will provide one to the name on the envelope.

Please DO NOT hand deliver or mail your gifts directly to a DHS office. We (Frugal Living NW and Embrace Oregon) have a system set up to distribute these gifts in a way that doesn’t create extra work and confusion for the staff.

If you own a small business, are in a position in a larger business to make donation decisions, or an individual who would like to make a large donation to this project, please contact me at angela@frugallivingnw.com so we can get you a tax receipt for your gift.
